The answer is proportional representation.

Explanation:

Proportional representation (PR) is a system in which the percentage of votes for a political party is reflected in the number of people from that party taking part in the legislature. This means that all votes contribute to the result, instead of it being based on a majority.

Its greatest advantage is that all sectors of a society are represented in the result.
